Hej zucchini Are you not on drugs during the flare either? I guess my condition so far (14 years) have something like yours. It has never physically prevented me from doing stuff. But...
Interesting information with the LDN ! Just read quickly about it on the Net just now. Thanks for sharing !! LDN + curcumin will be on my "to try list". For how long have you been without any...
Hmm I have never received any written report, only oral feedback from the Doc's doing the c-scope. I have had several. Actually normally I get one each year just to check. They have never found any...
I did see some "slime" (dont know the correct word in English )for a few days and went to be checked in the very low end. He could not see anything and said it was all normal. Therefore I should keep...
By the reason a reason the Doc wanted to keep me off drugs was that he wants to look first if it could be something else than a flare causing the "irritation". But with 2 weeks waiting for full...
Hej Quincy Thanks for your advice. I really appreciate it and I am sure you know more about this than me! But can I ask: - Why would I use enemas and not just supps if the flare is only in the lowest...
Hej Fruitgirl. I think you are right. I has just been so difficult for me to accept this condition, and have always wished for the cure instead of accepting it part of me. Therefore pursued to be...
Okay thanks. And for breakfast? I honestly do not know what i tolerate even after so many years (CU since 1999). I don't find a direct connection between flare and food. But then again, I am not that...
I have a question for people on SCDWhat do you put on your plate to fill the stomach instead of the usual to accompagnie the meat and salat like potatoes, rice, pasta, bread? We eat healthy here:...
I would like to hear some experiences out there. I of course ackknowledge that we are all individual.But I would like to learn about your paths to remission and how it works out ? Thanks !...
2 years ! Great for you !! When you say remision, are you then still on drugs? I am relatively certain I can be in "remision" for a period if I stay on 2 Mesasal (1 in the morning/1 in the evening....
Thanks both ! Sean88: Can you guide me to where I can read more about this AID principle? I just bought (and received today) the "Breaking the Vicious Cycle" + a book about the FODMAP principle....
Is IBD-AID the same principle as the book Breaking the Vicious cycle ?? http://crohnsdad.wordpress.com/tag/ibd-aid-diet/...
Thanks Andrina ! You're not on it anymore as I read it? May I ask why? Was it to restrictive? What was your conclusions on which foods you are sensitive to - just to learn? I actaully often wondered...
HejI have just ordered the book Breaking the Vicious Cycle and thought I would give it a go. But then I read someone in here saying that, the sideeffect is that if you live by it for a while and then...
I guess that answer was more based on your general experience and the realism coming from this, rather than experience with this particular method? :-)...
Just read this. Sounds very good but then again there is no limit to what you can find on the Internet. What do you guys think? http://www.newtreatments.org/ulcerative%20colitis.php...

I have had UC (mild version) since 1999. Still not worse for me. But I am sure it varies and even after 11 years I constantly fear a worsening....
Okay. Why do you take it? To help against UC?...
Sucks that you flare. However I would love to have an 8 year break !! .... or 22 years. So I wanna say I feel for you, but for me it was a positive post to read, namely that you guys have had such...
Does this cause trouble in relation to UC ..... or potentially help for that matter? I have been recommended eating it for some issues with my back (osteoarthritis in my back)....
I won't :wink: But it is very nice/relaxing to know the possibility is there. I just read an article about it. It seems the side effects are not to bad. Except it said that about 15% have get to get...
Hi Suebear. Your last posting is such a relief to read (in lack of better word maybe ..... I'm not english native speaking). I mean it gives hope. I do not feel that I am at the operation stage (just...
Thanks for your replys. I do feel a bit better this morning (I'm in another time zone). Suebear: - What is your experience with the operation. I mean are there side effects, and do you live totally...
Seeing signals of yet another flare last couple of days :mad: I just realised that I have now had this condition for 11 years, whereof I had 2½ years of med free remission maybe 6 years ago. Yet...
I read once that a lot of bodybuilders have UC. When I heard about it my thought was that it maybe was their Anabolic steroids intake causing error in the "system". Or that they eat soo much. Don't...
I am a little less than 200 pounds relatively lean. Work out a lot without problems. Started lifting more weights again recently and gaining fast. I do benchpres around the 225 lbs mark. I guess I am...
What is NAC?????...
How does that affect CU? I know it's for anxiety. But does it do bad (or good for that matter) for a CU condition?...
@AMK77 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 32 yr old female Mild Pancolitis UC since 2000 - in remission for most of those 8 years med free. Cannot...
So what do you think it is that happens in connection with e.g. a cold ? Why does that create flare?...
Haven't been here for a while. But now I have had a mild flare for a month and despite eating my Asacols and now also taking Mesasals "the other way" I just won't disappear/go-to-remission. Normally...
Sorry NAC not Nam N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC)...
What is NAM is human language? /community/emoticons/rolleyes.gif I am not antive english speaking so really don't understand what it is??...
I am sick and fell like crap. No CU flare (in remission on asacols). Are normal aspirins okay to eat? I know there are sorts that are not okay, but normal aspirins?...
Are anyone really that food senstive so that one meal with sugar can bring you from remission to flare??? ....... or are we sometimes translating random incidences into patterns?...
What are enzymes more specifically?...
Thanks mumbles. Looks like you've come a long way ! I will keep your comment for bad days ;-) I have actually come a long way too from where I was. Nevertheless, I just can't get rid of the fear of...
You are right of cause. My anxiety is maybe deeper than the UC and the UC was "just" the trigger for that. Mayan calender?? .......... Well someone recently told me about the pronosis for the coming...
Thank you all. I think my Anxiety is maybe a bit different? I think it is pretty understandable that you will be nervous, or even very nervous going some where if you suddenly can have the urgent...
For me the anxiety for getting a flare and for getting worse is much more handicapping/limiting my life than the disease itself. I was diagnosed now 10 years ago and is now 4o years old. I all these...
Anyboady using meditation to reduce anxiety and/or stress related to this UC condition? If stress is a trigger I wonder if meditation can help? Also: Isn't anxiety and stress the same physical...

Thanks Cfromutah for a very specific easy to implement description! Sounds easy to do. I don't know if what I am doing now is working. I am not med-free. I do 2x3 Asacol and just stopped my daily...
